Many prefer to move on the weekend so as not to take time off. This has advantages, but there are a few points to consider.

The advantages

On the weekend you do not need time off and more helpers are available. Streets and lifts are often freer than on weekdays. Plus, you have Sunday to settle in before returning to work.

What to consider

Saturday is in high demand with moving companies – book early. Note that in many buildings Sunday rest applies on Sundays: noisy moves may be restricted or prohibited.

Tip: Book a Saturday move several weeks in advance. Weekend dates fill up first, especially around the customary dates.

Sunday rest

On Sundays, rest applies in many cantons and buildings. Noisy activities can disturb neighbours. Check the local rules and plan noisy work for Saturday instead.

Plan well

Book early, inform the neighbours and clarify the building rules. With good preparation, the weekend move goes smoothly and you start relaxed in your new home.
